Happy Thursday Guys and Dolls:
I told you Speakies there were some great foods to celebrate in October and today we honor CHILI a favorite dish of mine. I hate to brag but Roe makes up a mean batch of chili and what can be better on a cold winter’s day than spicy chili. Now a little chili history for that grey matter of yours. Chili con carne better known simply as chili is a spicy stew. It comes from the Spanish which means translated “chili pepper with meat.” Traditional versions are made with chili peppers, garlic, onions, and other spices with chopped or ground beef. Beans and tomatoes are also used. Bean less chili is used on hotdogs, cheese fries and I guess anything else you want to top it with. Some people like bean less chili just the way it is.
I checked famous birthdays today and for me it was a big zilch. We have to stop and remember Henry Calvin today. I can see the look on your faces who is Henry Calvin? He played Sgt. Garcia that chubby, funny Mexican soldier on the TV series Zorro.

Rest in peace Sgt. Garcia. Z
Did you know that in 1683, 13 German families arrived in what is present day Philadelphia. Soft pretzels, great bread and rolls would be rolling down the assembly line shortly. Germans made great sausages also; I wonder when the Italians started coming over? What a match it would be sausage and sauce on a nice roll with slices of garden grown peppers and onions.
I have to pay honor to one more holiday today, “PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT DAY.” Thanks to them for helping you when the doctors are not available or too busy to see you. Keep up the good work and thanks for the prescriptions.

Have a great day Speakies and remember tomorrow is FRIDAY.

We are lucky we didn't "put our eyes out", with all of those sword duels we had with the best stick we could find. Each ending in the "swish, swish, swish" making the Z.
That was a great show. "Oh Pancho, Oh Ceeeeeeeeeesco"
So thanks the other Z, JoeZ, for bringing that back.
Great memories of that!
Skip.
When I am feeling "fat", I will occasionally treat myself to cubing a steak (I like it rare), giving the cubes a quick and crispy searing and then adding them to the wifey's chilli. I saw that on a Texas cook off show and it sounds better than it really is I guess.
I'll pass your thanks to Don Diego Del Vega himself. Chili rules, starts getting colder down here it's a great dish to warm the cockles of the heart.
